11. Eric Moussambani Loses Miserably

Eric Moussambani won his bid to the 2000 Games thanks to a wildcard bid granted to his native Guinea. He was put into an Olympic-sized pool mere months after he took up the sport. It was literally the first time he’d ever actually seen an Olympic-sized swimming pool when he competed in the 100-meter freestyle, and while he lost, his commitment to the goal is something that embodies the Olympic spirit.
